  • Patent number: 5083822
    Abstract: The housing comprises an actuating lever (8) articulated about a transversal spindle (13), and a mechanism (16), controlled by the lever, capable of driving, in opposite direction, two rods (17, 18); each rod is provided, at its end farthest away from the housing, with a bolt, in order to bring about a locking at an upper point and a lower point, respectively. The actuating lever (8) comprises a unilateral thrust organ (19) capable of co-operating with one or two complementary abutments (21, 22) provided for on a driving organ (23) of the mechanism (16), whereby the lever (8) may be tilted from one position into another, to co-operate with the appropriate complementary abutment (21, 22), in order to selectively allow the fitting onto a "right-hand" or "left-hand" door.

  • Patent number: 5040386
    Abstract: Safety-drum antipanic lock comprising a bolt (3, 103), an actuating rod pivotingly connected to the door, at each of its ends, by means of a unit formed by a housing (1, 101) fixed onto said door and a lever (2, 102) pivotingly mounted, in said housing (1, 101), at least one lever (2, 102) being an actuating lever cooperating with components of its housing (1, 101) to actuate the bolt (3, 103). The housing (1, 101) of the actuating lever (2, 102) is associated with at least a safety-drum (19, 20; 120) driving a bit (21, 23; 151) co-operating with actuating means for said housing to actuate the bolt (3, 103). Said housing (1, 101) of the actuating lever (2, 102) comprises at least two different operating means (14, 15a, 15b; 114) capable of separately co-operating each with a drum (19, 20; 120) to actuate said bolt (3, 103).
